eXoSpace Combat Engineer

eXoSpace Combat Engineer is a spaceship-building and combat game. You design gridless ships by snapping and rotating parts, then balance weapons, thrust, energy and armor. You can use mechanical parts such as pistons and hinges to build transforming warships, or fit hangars to deploy swarms of custom-designed drones.

Build your ships

The gridless designer lets you attach parts at any angle, making it possible to try new designs or upgrade a ship. More than 200 parts are available, including powerful weapons unique to particular factions. You can discover more than 600 ship designs, including community creations.

There are five playable factions, each with its own tech tree, unique parts and crew. In the fully featured sandbox, you can build any ship, create a faction and build your own boss.

Missions and combat

In Bounty Hunt mode, you take your custom ship through asteroid storms, pirate ambushes and random encounters. Missions increase your rank and let you build larger ships to pursue more dangerous targets. You develop your vessel from a basic drone into a dreadnought, and each mission ends with a phased boss fight where you look for weak points while dodging projectiles.

Other ways to play

The Galactic Arena offers design and piloting challenges, from one-on-one drone skirmishes to cruiser battles. The sandbox also lets you share creations through the Steam Workshop.
